Lonely white

The only little light I know

Is falling like a memory on the open road

A memory of a meaning

That I never heard long enough

Leaving what I never learned

Leaving what I never learned

Holding on, cradled to the bruise-black sky

Swollen with the secrets of a living lie

Pour me out like silver in a common world

Lonely white

Healing like I never hurt

I unfolded my life to a dream

Beside that other ocean

But I'm tied to the lines that must lead me

Somewhere where I don't know why

And tonight, there's nothing that can reach me

In the world outside

It's just another vast, aching hunger

An emptiness of another kind

And tonight, there's nothing beneath me

But the solid earth and the endless miles

Now only this, whatever you leave me

You leave me alive
